Every Regular-Season NFL Exclusive-Streaming Game in 2025

Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, ESPN+, Peacock, and YouTube all have exclusive games in 2025. We go through every streaming matchup.

The NFL made a landmark transition into streaming games when it signed an agreement in 2021 with Amazon Prime Video, which gave the platform the exclusive rights to air Thursday Night Football through 2033. Since then, streaming games have become an essential part of the NFL’s scheduling, and the league has aggressively grown its streaming footprint.

Following the 10-year Amazon deal, ESPN+ aired its first exclusive game in 2022, and Peacock broadcast its first exclusive in 2023. Next, in 2024, Netflix came on board to air Christmas Day games in 2024. And for the upcoming 2025–26 season, the NFL has added a fifth exclusive streaming partner: YouTube.

Football fans, used to consistently finding games on NBC, CBS, ABC/ESPN, Fox, and NFL Network are increasingly needing streaming subscriptions to watch the action.

Here’s a brief rundown of the exclusive regular-season streaming games, including the full streaming schedule:

Amazon Prime Video

The platform is the only place to watch Thursday Night Football each week. As part of its $1 billion-per-year media rights deal, Prime also airs one wild-card playoff matchup.

Netflix

The major streamer is entering the second year of a three-year deal to broadcast the NFL’s Christmas Day doubleheader. Last year’s viewership set a streaming record.

ESPN+

ESPN+ gets an exclusive Monday late-night game after the usual 7 p.m. ET Monday Night Football broadcast. Games broadcast on ESPN or ABC are also available on streaming via ESPN+. 

Peacock

The platform will get an exclusive game during Week 17. NBC’s streaming home will also host all the games available on NBC. 

YouTube

After striking a media rights deal with the league, YouTube is taking over streaming of this year’s Brazil game, an important fixture in the NFL’s international strategy. The platform announced it will stream the game for free; no subscription is required.
